You probably heard about last Friday's massive cyber attack that affected millions of outdated machines that still run Windows XP, but also newer version. Luckily the pandemic got halted almost by sheer luck (read more at hackaday).
Anyway, it could have affected any of us (maybe dual-boot?), which alerted me of the fact that I had not backed up my files for quite some time now. This gave me two options. Either plug in my external backup HDD and copy everything with my file browser (overwriting old files), or do it the intelligent way: an incremental update to my backup with rsync to only copy modified files.
